This is the first such story of any sort of sexual encounter taking place between a human and an alien being. It would be easy to dismiss this story as a lie, or false, but given that this alleged event took place in 1957, it’s hard to say exactly whether it happened or not. Antonio is the only one to have had the actual abduction, but his family members do remember seeing the strange lights out in the fields the nights leading up to the abduction.

Like other alien abduction stories it is hard to say whether this story is actually plausible. Although, I must say, the idea of an alien traveling millions of miles to have sex with a poor migrant worker in Brazil is just a little hard to believe.

Nothing was gained from him telling this story. He didn’t receive money. No book or movie was made about this incident. In fact, the only thing that came out of this was a series of medical problems for Antonio. After the incident Antonio retreated from public life and went back to his studies. He soon became a lawyer and lived a long life before dying in 1992.

This is a weird story, that is like most other abduction stories in the sense that it is hard to say whether it is factual or not. One must take it for what it is worth and remember when this story took place. The UFO and alien abduction phenomenon was not as wide spread as it is today back in the late 50’s. There was nothing to gain from coming out with stories like this. That’s the only thing to take away from this.
